Setter Hwang Seung-bin (32) is considered the 'last puzzle piece' for Hyundai Capital, the sole leader in the men's division of the professional volleyball V-League.
In September, Hyundai Capital gave up middle blocker Cha Young-seok and setter Lee Hyeon-seung to fill the vacancy of the starting setter, and recruited Hwang Seung-bin from KB Insurance.
Hyundai Capital expected that the experienced Seungbin Hwang would effectively command the splendid attack line consisting of Leonardo Leyva Martinez (registered name Leo), Su-bong Heo, and Gwang-in Jeon.
However, Hwang Seung-bin complained of mild concussion symptoms after being hit by a ball in the fourth set of the opening match against Woori Card on the 20th of last month, and has not been able to participate in any matches since then.
Currently, Hyundai Capital has Lee Jun-hyeop, a third-year pro, as its starting setter.
Hyundai Capital coach Philippe Blanc said about Hwang Seung-bin's physical condition ahead of the away game against Korea Electric Power in the 2024-2025 V-League men's division to be held at Suwon Gymnasium in Gyeonggi Province on the 14th, "It was shocking at first, but he's fine now." He added, "Hwang Seung-bin, who has a strong sense of professionalism, is getting in sync with the players through team training."
He added, "Lee Jun-hyeop is stepping forward now, but we plan to utilize Hwang Seung-bin when things go wrong."
He also said, "I hope the two setters will lead the team well this season."
Meanwhile, Kwon Young-min, the manager of Korea Electric Power Corporation, which is in third place and competing against Hyundai Capital, said that he will sign a new foreign player soon.
"We are considering several candidates, but we will likely sign a contract within this week," said Director Kwon.
He continued, "Considering administrative procedures such 스포츠토토사이트 as visa issuance, we will have to hold out with domestic players until the second round," and added, "If new foreign players join, we will be able to move up again."
Korea Electric Power had been on a five-game winning streak since the opening game, but foreign player Luis Elian Estrada (registered name Elian) collapsed after suffering a serious injury to his left knee during the game against Hyundai Capital on the 6th.
Elian went under the knife, and the aftereffects were immediate.
Korea Electric Power Corporation was defeated 0-3 by KB Insurance on the 9th.
Coach Kwon Young-min said, "The players were generally exhausted," and added, "After the loss, we reduced the amount of training and focused on recovering our physical strength, so we expect to see a good performance in today's game."
